NetherRealm DC Comics Fighter ‘Injustice: Gods Among Us’ Announced

Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment and DC Comics revealed a new brawler from Mortal Kombat‘s NetherRealm Studios focused entirely on DC’s Superhero/Villain cast.Injustice: Gods Among Uswill bring the ensemble crew (confirmed characters include Batman, Harley Quinn, Solomon Grundy, Superman, The Flash, and Wonder Woman) to a new world “where the lines between good and evil are blurred”.

NetherRealm had previously played with DC’s finest in the crossover fighter Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, but the M-for-Mature reputation of the former didn’t quite gel with the T-rating inspired by the latter. Here’s hoping a pure focus on the comic book icons will help. Expect more from the title at E3 next week.

Interactive Entertainment. “NetherRealm Studios is the extremely talented team behind the latest Mortal Kombat hit and it is developing a game unlike any other in the fighting genre.”
